Livable Luxe is the first-ever monograph on acclaimed Los Angeles-based interior designer Brigette Romanek. This aspirational collection of Brigette Romanek's distinctive residential interiors highlights luxurious yet casual homes in places ranging from Montecito to New York to Italy. Also included are commercial projects, furniture, and lighting designs, all of which embody the essence of Livable Luxe. In her introduction, Romanek charts her unique upbringing on the road with her super-talented single mother, who sang with the likes of Marvin Gaye, David Bowie, Michael Jackson, and Aretha Franklin. What grounded Romanek throughout her peripatetic childhood was her ability to make any new space "home" by decorating and personalizing it with special treasures and mementos that had meaning in her life. As a designer, she has elevated that same instinct by bringing together an eclectic mix of design elements that create a sense of ease, comfort, and style. Her aesthetic blend of both the high-end and the accessible, or as she calls it, "Gap meets Gucci," is a refreshing approach and fully apparent in her own beautiful home in Laurel Canyon in Los Angeles. Extensively featured in Livable Luxe are the homes of her celebrity clients who admire and seek her design expertise in creating spaces that evoke a laid-back-yet-elegant feel. Gwyneth Paltrow is a close friend and client, and she has also penned the foreword. Romanek's stunning designs for several of Paltrow's homes are featured here. Livable Luxe is a book worthy of its name, filled with full-color images by the best architectural photographers in the world. STEP INSIDE CELEBRITY HOMES: Brigitte Romanek's star-studded client list includes Beyoncé and Jay Z, Demi Moore, Ariana Grande, Misty Copeland, Joe Jonas, and Christian Bale, to name a few.

Marshall Watson’s first book reveals how to make traditional interiors fresh. Known for his meticulously researched, European-inspired style, Marshall Watson creates interiors that are rich in texture, detail, and simple luxuries. In his first book, Watson shares his finest work, demonstrating that while each of these homes is as unique as its owner, they all adhere to principles that transform a mere series of spaces into a genuine, coherent home: warmth; light; peace; comfort; balance; proportion; livability; and last but not least, appropriateness. Whether in an Italianate villa in Los Cabos or a family idyll on a Swedish island, a Gramercy Park apartment that blends shimmer and restraint, or a Newport Beach cottage warmed by walls finished in egg-yolk yellow, Watson explains how he translated each family’s lifestyle and aspirations, the house’s history, and the surrounding environment into a highly original form of elegance—and how anyone can discover his or her own. Beautifully photographed with lavish images of Watson’s work, this inspiring book is a must-have for interior design lovers.
